PC to phone data Sync and FF history questions

Hi there,
I’m a old firefox user and have been using FF on my PC since long, but recently I’ve started using it in my Android (Note 3) I have few question regarding this:
1) The reason I’m using FF in my Note 3, I’ve lots of bookmark in my PC I want them all in my phone as well. So I use basic sync feature to get them all. I’ve also few saved password which I want in my phone also. But I see FF stores all sync data in there server and I can clear them too after login. But I question is this safe to store data in FF server? Does it provides a secure encrypted method?
2) When sync my PC FF data I sync history too, and I’ve long history in my PC, but when it sync to phone, the phone only shows very small history. Only upto last week, is that the Android FF version feature that it will show history for a week only? Or anything else?

Hi guigs2,
Thanks a lot for your feedback, yes I’ve many questions.
1# “If you swipe down from the top of the navigation and tap on the sync icon you will see all the tabs and synced list.” Do you mean under setting? Under setting I see there have sync option to choose like bookmark, tabs, pass etc.
1# I was using FF28 on my PC and its old sync feature and it was working flawlessly and properly sync all. But after the 29update I found FF released a new sync method and I moved to that. But what I found it really not sync properly. I’ve over 5k bookmark in my PC and when sync with my phone (Note3) it didn’t sync all. I ran the sync multiple time and leave it long to do its purpose but it didn’t. I also tried adding, deleting some from my PC and then sync again, but nothing helps. Also 29 Sync doesn’t sync passwords with master password. Then for all (except Note 3) I went back to FF 28 and started using old sync method. Also the old sync account shows how many data uploaded and a option for user to clear them, which I use frequently for safety purpose but that’s missing in the new sync. Also the
2# is there any way to import bookmark manually on android? Because when I do sync all desktop bookmarks shows under ‘desktop’ directory. But it would be helpful if all are stored in root bookmark place.
3# another PC FF related question is: is there any way for the bookmark sidebar shortcut icon in FF 29. I see its missing in 29 and the new icon only shows a dropdown menu. But as I’ve long list of bookmarks, so sidebar is best for me. I know the keyboard shortcut (ctrl+B) but I’m habituated with the icon.
Thanks in advance!

    Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

    What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

  • ADF mobile Data sync and sql lite usage

    Hi,
    We are working on ADF mobile POC.(Jdev version 11.1.2.3.0)
    Following Oracle mobile developer guide we generated "Webservice data control" which creates process(object) method to work with Webservice. We created the data-controls and used them in our Java code and are able to get the Webservice response also.
    However we want to implement the offline mode feature and for this we are not able to get any document reference for implementation.
    With offline mode support is it the application's responsibility to store the data locally using SQL Lite and do the data sync (using Web Service) OR will the framework would do the data sync automatically. Can someone please provide the implementation hint on how to do the Offline mode support in the mobile application using ADF.
    Thanks

    This is all you. In this version of ADF Mobile there is no automatic data synchronization between local data and the server side. The sample that come with the ADF Mobile extension have a SQLLIte example as well, which is in the HR application. Look for the "DBConnectionFactory" file
    package application;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import oracle.adfmf.framework.api.AdfmfJavaUtilities;

  • Sync and disk mode questions

    I recently synced all my Outlook 2003 business contacts into my 1st gen Ipod touch 16g. I also recently had a crash that wiped my outlook contacts. I had not backed up recently so I only saved about half of the ones I need. However, all of them are on the Ipod. How can I get them back into my Outlook without scanning each and every one back in (@300).
    Next.
    In syncing contacts and calendars with Outlook 2003 what is the protocol? If I change the Ipod will it update Outlook upon sync and vice versa, or will only one act as slave?
    I'm new. I am sure this has all been covered but I am stuck. Thanks in advance.

    As long as your Outlook has one contact and one calendar entry in it, you should get the option to merge the data when syncing.
    It will sync both ways.

  • IPod syncing and backing up question!

    I just recently had to re-do my operating system with the recovery disk of my Windows XP laptop and had to wipe out everything and start fresh on the hard drive.
    I have everything on my iPod touch that has not been synced or backed up as all of that was gone like I said when I had to re-do my operating system on my Windows XP laptop which brought it back to day 1 and all of the previously synced and backed up data that was stored in iTunes on my laptop was wiped out as well.
    I don't want to lose what all I have on my iPod touch because I know that if I try to sync and backup my iPod touch it will think it's another computer and lose and wipe out everything that I have on my iPod touch as this has happened to me before in the past and it was all gone for good at that point.
    My question is this, how do I sync and backup my iPod touch on the same laptop that I used in the beginning when my iPod touch was brand new after I synced and backed up for the 1st time so that I won't lose everything on my iPod touch again so that it will recognize the same laptop I used in the beginning in iTunes?

    OK, these are good steps to follow for the purchases.
    What are the instructions for doing it for my Apps, Contacts, Websites I've saved on the iPod, Photos, Videos, Calendar, Notes, Messages, and Bookmarks so my laptop won't cause the iPod to delete any of these on me like the last time being that it thinks that it's a brand new iPod Touch and doesn't recognize it at all?
    Bear in mind still that I had to re-do my operating system for my Windows XP laptop from the recovery disk which brought it all back to day 1 from scratch. When I did this in the past and plugged in my iPod Touch to the laptop, it deleted and wiped out everything from the iPod Touch and had to start over. I don't want this to happen again.

    Yes, you can sync podcasts. Except in this case it's KEXP.org's song-a-day podcast that are just songs. I want them to work the same way as any song in my library from any other source. I do not want to manage them as podcasts. And for whatever reason it won't send them to my iphone as songs unless I right click and convert to mp3. And yes, they already are mp3s. Before I convert them, they don't ever show up in iTunes DJ or in Music either. I don't know... ask Apple.

  • I-Phone email sync and desktop Outlook Inbox

    Prior to my I-Phone, I used a Blackberry. On that device I was able to set-up how I wanted emails that were deleted on my handheld device to be handled within my Outlook Inbox on my desktop. I liked that I could read an email on my handheld device (Blackberry or now I-Phone), delete that email but still keep that same email as a "read" email in my Outlook Inbox once I got back to my computer. It appears with the I-Phone that once you delete an email on the I-Phone it automatically deletes it from your Outlook Inbox. Is there any way around that?

    One thing that might help out.
    It depends on the type of emil account you have set up.
    If it is a pop account the state of the email is local to the device.
    As in, if you delete the email on the iphone, it will still download as unread to other devices.
    However, with imap or exchange, the state of the email is global with the server.
    So any changes you make on the device is pushed back to the server and down to any other devices checking the same email.
    Hope this helps.

  • New iTunes, syncing, and iOS update questions!  Hot mess over here!

    I'm in a quandary and need some help. Bare with me if I forgot details.
    I moved all music to an external drive and a week later, it died.
    I got a new laptop and downloaded iTunes 9.2
    I've transfered all my purchased music and applications from the iPhone to my new iTunes.
    _*I'm getting ready for the updates and have the following questions:*_
    Some applications aren't showing up (ie. Project 365). Why would that be?
    An error message pops up when I want to "sync" my applications. Since I transfered my purchases, do I ignore?
    Do I need to sync my iPhone to my new iTunes before the iOS update?
    If I ignore the warning messages, will the iOS update delete applications?
    The iOS update has warnings. What will I lose?
    I am currently running an (3 hour!)iPhone backup.
    I swear I'm not that computer illiterate, but extraordinaryly cautious since losing everything.

    If you did not backup prior to upgrading and the cancel button is showing, do that now. You should always backup before doing an upgrade. If it asks you to sync your apps then do that. Your backup during upgrade will take hours because itunes is sending all your data to Apple instead of just internally inside your computer.

  • Syncing and filing of photos: chronological / alphabetical

    I don't mind the photos in "Camera Roll" syncing and archiving in chronological order but I would like the photos that I have sitting in sep. folders on the computer and that I sync to the phone to sync and archive alphabetically.
    Is there a way of doing this?
    Thanks

    ok, so it only goes by date?
    i have a bunch of product photos that I update, but instead of keeping the photos in order (as in A1, A2, A3, B1, B2,...etc.) it will put the last photo added to the folder at the end (so you may end up with A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, A4)...
    Would be nice for the folder to sync as per last sync on the computer...

  • SQL Data Sync - column type invalid for use as a key column

    Hello,
    our sync group is failing to do the sync. Here's a tracingID:
    For more information, provide tracing ID ‘e3e568b5-140a-4ae5-a4c8-c178c6bf805d’ to customer support.
    I must say, that the column in DB is not a PK or INDEX-ed, it was initially VARCHAR(MAX), after some reading I changed it to VARCHAR(200) and later to TEXT, but the result of syncing is still the same.
    Thank you,
    Bojan

    Hi Bojan,
    The error “column type invalid for use as a key column” could be due to the existence of unsupported data types or column properties when implementing the synchronization. I recommend you check your database according to this article:
    SQL Database Data Types supported by SQL Data Sync.
    Besides, before you design and implement a data synchronization plan, please check the following articles about system requirements for SQL Data Sync and so on.

  • Problem syncing and greyed out songs on iTunes

    I just recently switched from an iPhone 3gs to an iPhone 5. Before switching phones, I went on iTunes and clicked "back up" in case I wanted to transfer music, photos, etc. After switching, I decided to add new music onto my new iPhone. I don't use iTunes very much, so while trying to figure out how to put music onto my phone, I clicked "restore from backup." I was afraid some of my new apps would disappear, so I clicked cancel. I checked my phone and the only difference I saw was that I got my old bookmarks back from my old iPhone.
    I went back to syncing my new music and figured it out, however, I noticed that every time I clicked "sync", it would sync for a little while, stop at "step 2: backing up" and then cancel. I think cancelling the "restore from backup" interrupted the syncing process for my music because now, some of the songs are greyed out on iTunes, but they still show up on my iPhone. I'm happy the music still plays on my iPhone, but it bothers me that I can't get rid of the greyed out songs on iTunes.
    Can someone please tell me how to fix the greyed out songs and how to stop my phone from syncing and canceling?
    P.S.
    My iPhone would sync and then cancel every time I plug in my iPhone into my computer, but I stopped that by going on iTunes to "Edit", "Preferences", "Devices", and then checkmarking the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically."
    I hope all of this makes sense >.< I feel like I should be jumping up and down in joy for getting an upgrade, but I'm bummed out now that this has to happen :/

    I'm sorry I don't have a solution to post, but just want to say that I too (and I'm sure, among millions of others)  have experienced nothing but frustration and anger at all the ridiculous bugs that have happened seemingly without any interference from the user's end.
    I can't even begin to list all the problems I've had since being forced to upgrade to iOS 7 on my iPhone(s) and iPad(s) being a family of Apple users. The OS "Music" app is completely useless now (half of my 1,200 songs are "greyed out" and unplayable), iTunes doesn't sync properly (it absonlutely refuses to transfer songs no matter how many options and selections in the various panes are checked off) and everything is INCREDIBLY slow.
    I've read SO many possible solutions and fixes and, really, I don't have the TIME to be reading endless posts and screwing around "experimenting" trying to get it fixed. And Apple, as usual, is mum and nowhere to be found.
    My advice to tech companies is to LEAVE THINGS BE -- especially if there is no real improvement. Unless the change significantly improves the functionality—changing the interface, buttons, or even the icons JUST BECAUSE is stupid policy and infuriates those of us whose lives don't live and breathe Apple...and just want a functioning phone.

  • I Phone wont Sync

    I have just activated my Micro Sim (Australia) and am trying to Sync to get started. However, the phone wont sync and will only let me use it for emergency calls. There is only one small bar that is registering for service, but my Mobile service provider (TPG) says everything is OK from their end. So two Qs: Why is there no service on my IPhone and is this the reason why it wont allow me to get started and set up?

    Hey thanks for your reply Lawrence, but have solved the problem. I just needed to adapt ITunes for what I needed it for.

    My problem - when syncing and error messages  comes up:  iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data."  I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing.  What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

    Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted :  a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone.  I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
    In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them.  It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
    Thanks for pointing me to the right article.
